For viruses use the link given by jaydub. You can follow the progress of the analysis at the website and get the final report there as well as in email.

In case your FP is really a virus, make sure you zip and password protect so your ISP doesn't strip it out. Don't use Yahoo or GMail as they both drop the attachments if they are password protected. You need to use your ISP's mail.

If you believe it to be an FP then send to Stefan otherwise use the web page. If it is a FP for the new Rootkit detector send that to Stefan also. Don't use the web page or quarantine as those analysts won't get the point. I sent some Rootkit detector FP's using the web page and got a nice email back telling me the file was not dangerous. I already knew that. I knew it was a FP. So, then I sent them to Stefan and he sent them on the guy there who handles the Rootkit detector.

I'd rather just forget about it if I need to go through all that to submit FP.
People want to submit through antivir's feature for a reason.

Avira asks that all submissions be through the web page. Ignore the quarantine submission. They have a new web page for submissions. If you use the quarantine you don't get a reply. It is not much trouble to use the web page. I agree it is more trouble if sending an FP to Stefan and you have to zip it but he asked here that we do it that if we are sure it is an FP. It is a bit of a hassle though so just use the web page. By now I imagine those analysts are aware of the FP's coming in from the Rootkit detector too.
